Academic Integrity and Plagiarism

Academic integrity involves showing respect to other people's ideas, words, images, code and more by ensuring you acknowledge who and what has influenced your thinking or the work you have produced. This means always doing your own work unless you are instructed that a piece of work is collaborative or group work, and recognising when other people or organisations have influenced your thinking or the work you have produced through citation and referencing. Keeping accurate track of the provenance of code is also an important element of software engineering.

The university's plagiarism and academic integrity guidance applies to all work you submit in this course. Any work you hand in must be your own work. This includes not just the mechanical entry of the code but the thoughts and ideas behind it. If you have had help from another source (other than course staff) you should make this clear at the relevant point in any code, report, or presentation submitted, describing the nature of the help received. The use of "artificial intelligence" tools is prohibited throughout SWEN501. Any part of a submission that has been produced by someone or something else will not receive marks.

Assessment

All assessment tasks in this course are conducted in the room and submitted within the teaching day. Late submissions are not permitted. Alternative arrangements or extensions are available in case of illness or extraordinary circumstances by arrangement with the instructor. Get in contact as soon as possible if you think that will be required.
